Hello loves! While I haven't been writing, I have been working on updating some issues that have been hanging around on the layout! The Character change box is now at the bottom of the page, beside the up/down arrows! Green and Gold dragon flight dates have been shifted to the bottom of the page, where the (useless!) discord widget was located. Where the dragon flights were in the header, is now replaced by a Monthly Event box! This will be updated at the start of each month, with a fun mini-event you can take part in, if you want to! Thistle!

General Description:
Eyes: While his eyes are narrow, lending to a seductive appearance, R’nd has extremely expressive eyes that display his emotions in flashes before he tries to reclaim a calm exterior. They are of a pale grey shade that darkens with strong emotions, usually lust, but the rare time when anger gets a hold of him has the same effect.Hair: Dirty blonde wavy locks that hang in a tousled shaggy style may appear as if minimal attention has been spent on the ‘do but R’nd will take the time to comb and style it each morning. There are, of course, times where a tumble in and out of bed does the work for him but he somehow manages to make it work for him.
General Appearance: One of the first things most notice about R’nd is his dirty blonde wavy hair with shorter strands falling against his face but typically kept styled just out of his view. The other major eye-catcher the bluerider possesses comes in the form of his beaming smile courtesy of a talented mouth. His well-shaped lips are almost feminine and likely would be called as such on a baby-faced young man but given his rugged features and ability to grow facial hair, which is often kept in a state of three-days-of-not-shaving stubble, they are oddly fitting. Perhaps it is the way they often curl into a smirk that, combined with his suggestive grey eyes, leaves R’nd looking like pure sex that earns him more compliments than complaints about his lips.
His body is not that uncommon of a sight amongst dragonriders given the care dragons require. He’s acquired toned arms and upper body from turns of scrubbing Ayyonth during his baths while his legs received proper definition from uncounted hours of training a-dragonback or running around Katila either as exercise or from whatever chore assigned to him.
General Dressing Style:
Before the plague, Orwind was all over the latest styles of fashion and had to be among the first to sport the new must-have accessory, despite his young age. Naturally once the weyrfolk migrated to the South it became more than a little difficult to keep up that hobby. Since Katila was established, R’nd has moved passed the mourning stage for his stagnant wardrobe and accepted that he had to work with what was on hand. Later on, after Impressing and Katila established more rules for going north he found he could ask those heading out on a Search or gathering materials to find out what styles were popular.Of course having a tailor as a friend within the weyr also has some benefits and R'nd is always willing to be a model or test subject. When it comes right down to it, he is usually seen wearing vibrant colours, preferring to stick with a more monotone look than mixing up colours. Given the climate, a lighter material is preferred but he enjoys fine leathers for his riding gear and boots, the latter of which is has several pairs of in varying lengths.

Personality
Likes:
Sleeping: Thanks to his flirtatious ways, R’nd sometimes lacks a full night’s rest and doesn’t always want to rise when the sun does. He’s still dedicated to his duties at the Weyr but if he can sneak in just one extra hour, he’s a happy man.
Wine: R’nd enjoys a good night of drinking. The wine that they produce at Katila still has a long way to go before it reaches the standards of Benden, or even that of Tillek, but it does the trick whether it’s needed to drown sorrows, celebrate, or just liven up a gathering
B’jin: R’nd suffers from a serious case of boycrush. Thanks to B’jin’s charm and outgoing personality, young R’nd was enthralled at their first meeting and decided he was a good dragonrider example. Yet even now he still won’t approach B’jin for anything sexual outside of Larrikith flying, though Ayyonth has yet to win her. When they finally did win a flight, the crush grew and now the two men are inseparable.

Strengths:
Open-minded: R’nd is open-minded and willing to give everyone a chance. He believes that there is good in everyone and there’s a reason for a nasty attitude which could be turned around if someone stopped to find out why and cared.
Level-headed: Because of his gentle and friendly attitude, he has the ability to stay calm under pressure and help guide others in times of a crisis or simply stay patient when others are frustrated at a situation, person, or themselves.
Loyalty: While he counts every acquaintance as a friend, it’s the ones he holds closest to his heart that he’ll throw himself into harm’s way in order to keep them safe.

Dislikes:
Liars: Luckily for R’nd he has his own lie detector, so long as Ayyonth is around, though he does well enough on his own. While he’s fine with the occasional small fib, he simply can’t understand why anyone would lie with the intent of hurting someone.
Losing Flights: The high while caught up in a flight is intense but when you don’t come out of the trance as the winner, it’s a devastating blow that R’nd feels emotionally and physically drained from. Luckily with Ayyonth and Larrikith mated, the only flights they enter now should be a guaranteed win.
The Method of Stealing: While he understands why it must be done, R’nd wishes there was another way to go about gaining those likely to Impress. Despite his dislike of the method, he fully supports the Weyr and would become a searchrider to do his part. He would, however, try to find a way to give the Candidate a choice.

Flaws:
Unwilling to Burden Others: R’nd is very expressive when it comes to positive emotions, or anger if pushed enough, but when it comes to anything negative that he or anyone else has against him, he will keep it inside. He doesn’t want to worry anyone and will pretend all is well or go off alone for a time where he will mentally beat himself up for causing trouble for anyone.
Fear of Abandonment: Even with all of his outwardly confidence and surviving the plague and travel South at such a young age, his large ego has created a fear of being rejected. He knows he’s amazing and does well in everything he attempts but someday to someone, that may just not be good enough; that he will not be good enough. His friends are important to him and while he knows it’s nonsensical, the notion that they’ll replace him often lingers in the back of his mind. Even though he genuinely enjoys playing the field, the fear of rejection is a very strong reason as to why he has never had a serious relationship.
Occasional Weak-will: On the lighter side, R’nd has a weakness for sweets and puppy dog eyes, both of which have been known to lead him astray and getting into mischief with friends or spoiling Benden, Amorandii, and B’jin.

Habits & Mannerisms:
He will smile at everyone. Whether it’s just a polite greeting to his elders and the weyrbrats running around or a flirtatious, naughty grin to past and future lovers, R’nd can’t really help it. Just like he can’t help checking and fixing his hair if he’s near a reflective surface.General Personality:
When R’nd’s ego gets the best of him he believes himself to be the very definition of what a bluerider should be.His charisma can draw out a smile and small talk from even the shyest of souls as he knows his way around a conversation to find a way to make everyone comfortable. Unless of course he’s in a playful mood which he blames on Ayyonth and growing up with some of the weyrbrats. There are times where he can spin a teasing comment with the best of them but knows when to stop before it turns malicious and words said in jest turn sharp and leave a wound. However, coupling perfectly with his charisma is his flirtatious nature which often has him chatting someone up without realizing how suggestive he is. Typically, he knows when he’s doing it and it doesn’t matter gender or age. If R’nd feels an attraction, even at the most basic of levels, he’ll act on it.
Despite all of his flirtatious and talkative ways, there is one way to earn his scorn and that’s by bringing insult to someone he calls friend. While he can view everyone within Katila as friend or family, there are a small handful of those he truly opens up to and spends most of his time with. He’s not one to simply hate another because his friend or lover does but if a friend is hurt in any way, then you can forget about having his smile, a sweet one anyway, sent your way.
His protective streak has, at times, come into direct conflict with his almost naïve ability to believe there is good in everyone. When someone finds a way to lose his trust or shows an intense hatred of dragons or weyrfolk, it breaks R’nd’s heart and leaves him in a sullen mood for a short time, often with him going off to be alone until it passes and he can smile again without worrying anyone.

Important History:
703 & 0: Orwind is born.704-709 & 1-6: Nothing major happens; early childhood is spent in the usual manners of play and preparing for learning.
710 & 7: As a curious boy, Orwind gets into a lot of things, exploring the Hold, beach, and ships. His father is pleased with the eager young mind.
711-712 & 8-9: Continues with his lessons with the Harper, naturally clinging to the stories and history involving the dragons.
713 & 10: Begins to think he’d much rather spend the day playing in the sun and water, not fishing and labouring away.
714 & 11: Orwind is Searched and he goes with a large smile in place as it gives him a chance at a new life that doesn’t involve fish. He does not Impress.
715 & 12: The plague strikes.
716 & 13: The plague scares everyone enough to move South. Thanks to his likeliness to Impress, despite not doing so with the last clutch, R’jit has no family to bring with him and offers the free spot on his dragon to travel with him.
717-719 & 14-16: Orwind learns the hard way what it’s like to fend for himself as he and his saviour learn to fish, hunt, and build a small hut to live in while under the orders to keep away from other dragons as a precaution to keep the plague from spreading.
720-724 & 17-21: With the call to gather given, Orwind puts his new skills to use and helps build the Weyr and get to know all of the other weyrfolk that survived the trip South.
725-726 & 22-23: Despite Nirinath still not rising and a brown falling ill, Orwind believes everything will work out and it has not all been for nothing.
727 & 24: Orwind Impresses blue Ayyonth, believes how he handled the last twelve turns has shown his worth and dedication to the community.
728 & 25: Begins his second year of weyrlinghood. Everything is going smoothly until Green Pikth of Pendok and Blue Delemth of Uglor crash into each other and die. The deaths of their clutchmates affect R’nd and Ayyonth deeply and remind them that they are not invincible despite everything they have survived thus far.
729 & 26: Orwind graduates from weyrlinghood as R’nd.
730-731 & 27-28: R’nd lives the daily Katila life with chores, socializing, chasing after greens flying, and even trying to help the Stolen Candidates adjust to the Weyr. He also gets his dream of flying with B’jin and starting a friendship with him.
732-733 & 29-30: Continues growing closer to B’jin while adjusting to the changes of the Weyr politics including the horrible re-introduction of lashings and the execution of T’shiro for attempting to murder D’ren.
734 & 31: The landslide is devastating. Good friends are lost and nightmares haunt R’nd but he also found out during the chaos his feelings for B’jin and confesses them. R’nd is also responsible for finding the hot springs that New Katila is built around.
736 & 33: With three Weyrs now open, R'nd opts to stay in Telgar as that's where B'jin wanted to stay. Given his home turf is near Benden, R'nd was happy to be wherever they wanted him.
738 & 35: Near the end of the year, R’nd finds out Ayontay and his sister are also his kids.
740 & 37: Learns about Mylorah and Orgailian. Due to believing rumours and gossip, B'jin runs off to live with D'hys for a while. R'nd is devastated but quietly lets it happen. He decides he won't chase someone that doesn't want him and if B'jin comes back, then all is well. When B'jin does come back a few weeks later, R'nd struggles to pretend everything is fine but doesn't say anything out loud. Soon, they fall back into their lovey-dovey routine and things seem okay once more.
741 & 38: Finds out near the end of the year that he is going to be a grandfather thanks to T'ryn. Somehow doesn't pass out at the family dinner but does mentally shut down for a bit and can't recall parts of the night.
742 & 39: Not only were some of his children targeted by the Weyr killer, but so was B'jin. They all survived but his mate lost the ability to speak. It was hard at first for them both to adjust to it but R'nd did his best to stay patient and determined to work through it. He misses B'jin's laugh and singing but is so thankful that he still has the man at all.
743 & 40: Not only is it the year he turns forty (horror of horrors!) but more children are attacked. They also survive and Mylorah goes on to Impress to a gold!

Education
Details:
Growing up in a fishing hold, he was always surrounded by the craft and only lightly helped out when he started to get older. He was Searched before his father officially got him on the boats to start learning first hand what provided them with their comfortable life. Any real fishing skills he has comes from living in exile and needing to provide food. He's otherwise had a proper education for a young son of a lord up to when he was Searched.

Weyrlinghood
Ayyonth’s hide was a bright sky blue with faint streaks of a slightly darker blue throughout his body, but mostly along his legs. 
Ayyonth
Adulthood
Ayyonth is slightly larger than the average blue which R’nd has stated can be a good thing. Of course it hampers their speed and agility when it comes to racing against the smaller sized dragons but their size places them larger or close to a few browns which could elevate their status in a wing. His hide is of a rich cerulean blue that is not a consistent colouring throughout but mingles with a slightly softer tone to give a soft marbling effect that reminds some of the ocean. A perfect fit for the rider that had been born for a life on the sea.Mindvoice
Smooth baritone.Personality
Like most blue dragons, Ayyonth is a hard worker and takes pride in what he does. However, he still has his moments of being playful which is likely due to a certain weyrbrat spending too much time with the pair and his personality influencing the young dragon. After all, if R’nd likes the boy then acting like him can’t be all that bad, right? Unfortunately due to that playful energy and watching the way R’nd would sometimes interact with people only strengthened Ayyonth’s own enjoyment of teasing his clutchmates though he lacks the skill in knowing when enough is enough. That being said, when Ayyonth is behaving, he gets along with the other dragons, sunning in peace together or splashing about in the river when their riders are busy elsewhere.Quirks
Habits/Mannerisms: While Ayyonth doesn’t mind working, he loves having free time and spending it out sunning and will go off to do so whenever the chance presents itself. Sometimes it’s nice to just get away and relax with the sun on your back and not well-meaning and spirited kids.Likes:
Water: Much like R’nd, Ayyonth likes to keep up appearances and enjoys bathing. A day swimming in the lake for leisure is ranked just as highly.
Sunning: Nothing tops off an afternoon of swimming like napping in the sun on his favourite rock at the side of the lake
Teasing: While he’s not mean or looking to hurt people, Ayyonth does enjoy teasing certain people and even a prank here and there. Typically R’nd will end up being his favourite target.
Dislikes:
Being Ignored: R’nd doesn’t do it often and when it happens the man is often still more asleep than awake but patience only goes so far when you have urgent news to share.
Strengths:
Reliable: Ayyonth is extremely reliable. Even with all of his teasing and meandering off to enjoy a lazy day, if R’nd needs him, he’s there for him.
Easy-going: Ayyonth is very much go with the flow when he isn’t up for having a little fun at someone else’s expense.
Encouraging: Ayyonth is always confident in himself and R’nd. He encourages R’nd when his confidence flags for whatever reason, believing in his silly human completely.
Flaws:
No Self-regulation: Inability to tell when his teasing has gone too far.
Flight Records
Since 731, he has won a lot of Larrikith of B'jin FlightsThere were a few other wins before he mated with Larrikith.
Pet Details
Accidentally Impressed the very first firelizard from the rediscovered clutch. The chubby blue is named Rell after the nickname R'nd used for his sister Eridella when they were kids and he couldn't say her name. He panicked when asked what the name was and blurted that out. Rell can be clingy sometimes but mostly gives R'nd space and has a little pillow he sleeps on located on the table beside the bed.
